Pre-C4[1] Notes

• If you’re looking to share a room, folks are offering their up their second beds here (old standby) and here (new hotness).

• Jeff Czerniak is doing his C4[1] Detonator pre-party. He’s planning on hitting Volare on Thursday Aug 9 at 6:30pm, following it up with a jaunt to Fado Irish Pub. There’s also talk about meeting up for Chicago-style hotdogs the Friday afternoon. Email Jeff if you want to join the fun. Sadly I can’t go — I’ll be folding your shirts that evening.

• Brian Ray put together a special Chicago Python (ChiPy) meeting about developing Python on the Mac called Snakes on Apples. It’s Thursday Aug 9 @ 7pm.

• Buzz Andersen is looking for Alinea dinner partners. I haven’t been there myself, but I hear it’s great.

• If you’re flying in, it’s easy to take the L to the Chicago City Centre hotel — the Red Line is about six blocks away. Here’s a map from the Red Line’s Grand station to the hotel. Here’s directions to get from the airports to the hotel:

  From ORD (O’Hare):

  • Blue Line to Jackson (towards Forest Park+54th/Cermak)
  • Transfer to Red Line
  • Red Line to Grand (towards Howard)

  From MDW (Midway):

  • Orange Line to Roosevelt/Wabash (towards Loop)
  • Transfer to Red Line
  • Red Line to Grand (towards Howard)

• I hope you’re working on your Iron Coder Live hacks. I’ve been working on mine.
